Start with the situation

Pick your situation

Choose the situation closest to yours. Get a useful starting point, then decide whether you want help from Dave or a workspace to keep the work moving.

No account or personal details needed. You can use either path on its own.

A place to start

I need to explain why someone is not being promoted

Separate strong performance in the current role from evidence for the next role. State the decision early, explain the specific gap with examples already discussed, and agree on work that could demonstrate readiness. Set a date to review evidence without promising a promotion.

Personal consulting

Work through it with Dave.

Prepare the message and development plan with Dave, including how to hear disappointment without making a promise you cannot keep.

$250 USD for a 60-minute working session

The three-session, four-week reset is $1,500 USD. No software subscription required.

Tell Dave about this situation

This opens an inquiry. Nothing is booked or charged. See both session options.

ManagerForge software

Build the routine that follows.

Keep dated examples and agreed development work together so the next discussion is based on evidence.

Start free with one person. No credit card.

You can start here directly. Sessions with Dave are a separate service.

If you work with Dave first, your written plan can guide what you track in ManagerForge afterward. Using the software does not give Dave access to your private notes.
